MTG says evil and insane things because she’s insane, Lindsay Graham does because he’s a craven kiss ass who’s terrified of falling out with the big kids. Trump does it because he’s a pure narcissist powered on by a mix of ADHD and prescription drug side effects… Josh Hawley does it purely because he’s a cynical, manipulative rat bastard who’s calculated it as the best path to power. It’s heart warming to know that forever being the ‘leader’ who ran away will be an almost insurmountable obstacle in the way of any higher office than the one he has now.

Some might not be old enough to get the joke, since the music is from a 1981 film. But wait! There's more... Quote Twitter users have mocked the senator with edited versions of the video overlaid with various soundtracks, including songs from popular movies “Chariots of Fire” and “Rocky” and other hits such as “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. Other accounts posted memes including a picture of a running chicken captioned “I’m going to tell my grandchildren this was Josh Hawley” or joked that “y’all better run to the polls like Josh Hawley ran from the insurrection.” https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3570308-hawley-mocked-over-new-jan-6-video Two excellent suggestions from this article: Quote “The Missouri Dems should host an annual Josh Hawley 5K as a fundraiser,” one user suggested, while Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a member of the Jan. 6 committee, called Hawley “Fistpump McRunpants.” 3 hours ago, ryoder said: Darn George beat me to it: also from the article: Quote “From now on, if political reporters ask Josh Hawley if he’s planning to run, he’s going to have to ask them to clarify.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #389 August 2, 2022 Going forward, I don't think we will see so many "boots on the ground" insurrectionists choosing a trial over a plea deal. 7+ years in prision, and he didn't personally attack police officers or enter the Capitol. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/01/guy-reffitt-jan-6-riot/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #390 August 2, 2022 Hmmmm... Didn't Brent claim that none of the insurrectionists were armed? Yet this guy freely admitted that ALL OF THEM were armed. From the article: Quote Reffitt never conceded at the trial that he had a loaded weapon but bragged to fellow Three Percenters after the insurrection that “we all had weapons but never fired a single round.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,120 #391 August 2, 2022 Now the DOD has some missing text messages from their top staff too. Considering all the consternation around Clinton's emails, I am sure Republicans are going to be very upset about these missing text messages. All joking aside, you had an attempted insurrection and all of a sudden communications within Secret Service and DoD disappear. That level of Banana Republic should be extremely concerning for all. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/politics/defense-department-missing-january-6-texts/index.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
